Everyday absurdities, in cartoon form

Tom Toro’s collection brings together cartoons from his fifteen-year career at The New Yorker alongside previously unpublished work. Its comic situations place familiar figures and institutions in unexpected contexts: the Grim Reaper watches television, while Superman shops for health insurance. The book’s chapter art adds visual framing to a collection concerned with the absurdities of modern life. With its mix of published and previously unseen cartoons, it offers a broad selection of Toro’s work in one volume.

Book overview

EISNER AWARD NOMINEE

What can Leonardo DiCaprio, Bernie Sanders, Greta Thunberg, and Elon Musk all agree on? That Tom Toro's cartoons belong in their social media feeds. Now, with this debut collection by one of The New Yorker's contemporary stars, everybody can enjoy the timeless witticism and thigh-slapping wisecracks of Toro's cartoons without needing to go online.

In Tom Toro's hilarious world, the Grim Reaper binges television while Superman shops for health insurance. The collection features original chapter art that sets the perfect tone for these brilliant cartoons and what they reveal about the absurdity of modern life, all drawn in the author's wry and winsome style

Showcasing hundreds of Toro's greatest hits from his fifteen-year career at the New Yorker, as well as previously unpublished cartoons that we shouldn't shy from calling "undiscovered masterpieces," this book is sure to delight readers--if not outright corrupt them.
